STRAIGHT back "nesting" camp chair with ROUGH sketch

I built a camp chair from plans on HENNINGS SCOUTERS’ PAGES but found the curved back uncomfortable so I modified the frame to have a straight back. As shown in pic 5 it still nest compactly.I apologize in advance for the crudeness of my sketch, I mocked up this chair with card board and don’t have a plan. Other than the side I loosely copied the Hennings plan. After settling on the shape listed I decided where to place the side to side braces by holding the cardboard sides together with clothespins and determining a seat height and seatback angle I liked. Than I shaped the ends so the legs are flat to the ground. You can also just put a radius on the bottom of the legs if you like. I cut the front of the seat base so the front slat is angled slightly down for comfort.
This chair is built with 1×6 pt pine ( 3/4” x 5 1/2” )

Add me to the list of those who find the curved backs hard on the old spine. Nice looking chair. Any chance you could provide more details? What wood did you use? The ones I’ve seen around here were mostly maple. Did you do drawings of it, and if so are they in SketchUp format?

I have built two of these from another plan with the curved back and agree—- they’re uncomfortable. Never would have thought about straightening the back. Gotta try it. That makes two ideas I’ve gotten from you. Thanks a bunch! Didn’t you say you made yours out of pressure treated pine? I did and they are strong, but don’t sit too good.Have a good’unJoeP.S. I’ve got one of my cedar slabs planed down and will start Monday hogging out the tray. If it turns out fair, I’ll post it.

Thanks for all the comments. I hope I didn’t offend anyone with my CAD comment, I work in Huntsville which is full of aerospace and aviation engineers aka real rocket scientist. Just saying bowtie ain’t the sharpest knife in the drawer ! My son and I are building a cnc router so I have a lot to learn.
